December 29
Hello everyone! Here I am on a weekend trip to Prague – in the middle of winter. People are wearing their best winter clothes. Lots of heavy jackets and coats for the men, and long skirts and boots for the women – because it's not easy to walk in the snow in normal shoes! People in the park are doing exercises in tracksuits and trainers, but with a sweatshirt on top!
February 7
Today's report is from a fancy dress party to celebrate Carnival here in the south of France. I notice that nobody's wearing hats, maybe because it's quite warm. And I can't see many coats either. Lots of colourful tops and comfortable, informal trousers like leggings and joggers – a few men are even wearing shorts! Everyone's having a great time, dancing in the streets. And if you don't wear a hat, it can't fall off when you're dancing!
July 12
Hello again – now I'm in Berlin in July. Everybody seems to have a message on their T-shirts, and in all kinds of different languages! Young people are wearing shorts, skirts, jeans and trainers – really casual clothes. But it's easy to see the business people in their suits and ties and shiny shoes! They look so serious! Orange seems like a popular colour this summer, especially with the women. Men seem to prefer greens and blues.
